Generally, people who undergo plastic surgery think that it is a form of future investment; shaping slimmer body, prettier face, and better overall figure. Some also testify that the result of the plastic surgery is like a stepping-stone; it can help them achieve significant gain in education, marriage, and career, particularly for those who work in entertainment sector. However, this does not only apply to women, but also men. The beauty arguably brings gratification and improves one’s social status in Korean society.

The government even guarantees the success of the procedure by setting a standard that must be followed by the practitioners.
